Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – The Middle East’s premier combat sports promotion returns to Al Ain with a stacked night of action at UAE Warriors 63. Featuring rising international prospects and seasoned veterans, the card culminates in a main event built for fight fans: a classic Russia vs. Serbia showdown where neither man has ever been finished.
Main Event: Evgeny Morozov vs. Basir Saraliev
Headlining the card, Evgeny “General” Morozov (9-1) looks to continue his climb after a first-round finish in July. The Belgrade-based lightweight has quickly amassed 11 pro fights in just three years and is hungry for another statement victory.
Standing across from him is Basir “Ozden” Saraliev (9-1), the Makhachkala-based Turkmenistani powerhouse. With all of his stoppage wins coming in the first round and an iron chin that has carried him through wars against Russia’s toughest lightweights, Saraliev represents Morozov’s toughest test yet.
Co-Main Event: Alex da Silva vs. Kurbanali Isabekov
In the co-headliner, Brazilian veteran Alex “Leko” da Silva (24-6) makes his Warriors return after a devastating body-kick loss earlier this year in Al Ain. The former title challenger now looks to redeem himself against Kurbanali “Big Show” Isabekov (9-3) of Dagestan. Known for knockout power and dominant grappling, Isabekov hasn’t been finished in seven years and enters this fight on a ferocious run.
Featured Bouts
Magomed Saidov (7-0), the undefeated Russian finisher, finally makes his promotional debut against ONE veteran Valmir da Silva (11-4), whose 10 career knockouts make him one of the most dangerous strikers on the card.
Former Cage Warriors champion Luke “The Apocalypse” Shanks (10-5) returns to action against UFC vet Zarrukh Adashev (4-4) in a clash of grappling and striking styles.
Persian kickboxing star Abdullo Khodzhaev (7-1) meets Azerbaijani submission threat Turan Ahmadov (5-2) in what promises to be a high-stakes firefight.
